This is amazing. We have the money for Brynn's surgery!
As of 7 p.m. Sunday evening, we had $2,040 already come in for Brynn's fund ... an amount that in itself was incredible. I was getting ready to post that figure as the update on the blog and on Brynn's fund page. And then the phone rang. One of the sanctuary's friends and supporters in Canada was calling to make a $3,000 donation for Brynn's fund. I could tell from hearing Alayne's end of the conversation that something remarkable was happening, but I didn't know what. When Alayne got off the phone, she told me about the astonishing gift. We both just stood there, speechless, looking at each other.
In just four days, so many generous and compassionate people came forward to donate for this little blind foal's surgery that we have the entire $5,000 to pay for the operation! Alayne and I are still in a state of shock over it. It's hard to describe how we feel right now. To say we're grateful doesn't do it justice. We are, really, just completely blown away. It's truly humbling to see these kinds of gifts come in. We never imagined that we'd be able to raise the money for Brynn's surgery this soon.
Thank you!!!
My first call Monday morning will be to our equine vet in Missoula, Dr. Bill Brown, asking him to call Washington State University's College of Veterinary Medicine and make the appointment for Brynn!
This just goes to show what goodness there is in the world! It's so great to see that this has come together so quickly for Brynn. Thanks to all the wonderful people who donated for their generosity & love.
Big hugs all around,
ginger & Tobias

Oueee, yippee, that is just incredible. This is a great thing, and will be also an advance in equine care/surgury for the Vets/students at WSU.

I am so happy for little Brynn. She is such a sweetie and deserves the best.

I am so happy that the funds came in very quickly. Although the condition isn't life threatening, it certainly sounds miserable! And it also is an enormous hassle for you two (and we all know that you have enough to do as it is, without extra hassles!). I hope she can get scheduled quickly and that everything goes very well.
